Stars: Carroll O'Connor, Jean Stapleton, Rob Reiner Edit Storyline Felix and Oscar are an extremely odd couple: Felix is anal-retentive, neurotic, precise, and fastidiously clean. Oscar, on the other hand, is the exact opposite: sloppy and casual. They are sharing an apartment together, and their differing lifestyles inevitably lead to some conflicts and laughs.

Written by Murray Chapman <muzzle@cs.uq.oz.au> 24 September 1970 (USA) See more » Also Known As: La extraña pareja See more » Filming Locations: Did You Know? Trivia The original Broadway production of "The Odd Couple" by Neil Simon opened at the Plymouth Theater on March 10, 1965, ran for 966 performances and was nominated for the 1965 Tony Award as Best Play. See more » Goofs In the opening credits for the entire series, the type of luggage Felix is carrying changes. When he is indoors (leaving his apartment or arriving at Oscar's) he is carrying a white suitcase. But when he is walking outside he is not carrying the white suitcase. See more » Quotes (Claremont,USA) – See all my reviews Great comedic concept from Neil Simonthe slob and the neat freak, two divorced men living together in a small Manhattan apartment. But it's really Klugman and Randall that make the premise work so welltheir chemistry is simply superb. Klugman seems a natural for Oscar the slob, with his sour expression and grouchy manner.

Then there's Randall as Felix, with his no-fat body and absurdly picky manner. You just know he never played with mud pies or put on dirty socks. It's amazing the writers get so many hilarious variations on the same themeFelix carrying on with his finicky obsessions to an annoying degree. He just can't seem to help himself. At the same time, we can't help sympathizing with poor Oscar who retaliates by turning his bedroom into a city dump. Actually actor Randall pulls off a really difficult trick: he manages to make Felix annoying without being dislikable. Any hint of the latter and the show would have fallen flat. And who can forget the superb supporting cast, especially hawk-nosed Al Molinaro as Murray, the New York City policeMAN. He fits amiably right in with whatever the shenanigans might be, maybe too amiably for a cop. Then there're the rest of the poker playing characters, plus the girls led by Klugman's real life wife Brett and Father Knows Best's Elinor Donahue.

Since nearly all the hijinks occur in the small apartment, the writers have their work cut out for them, and rise to the occasion they do, with only an occasional misfire. My favorite parts are when some poor put-upon old lady gets enough of Felix's extremes and swats him with her pursehe always looks so surprised, like he can't figure out why. Anyway, it's one of the best character-based comedies of the 70's or any TV decade. 2 of 2 people found this review helpful. Was this review helpful to you? Yes Oscar Madison | The Odd Couple Wiki | Fandom powered by Wikia Share Oscar Madison, played by Matthew Perry , is a sports talk show host.

My review 1 19 Hugo Vera The Odd Couple This is the reboot of Neil Simon's classic play we've all been waiting for.

There really aren't any two actors better to play the roles of Oscar Madison and Felix Unger than Matthew Perry and Thomas Lennon. I would actually argue that this sitcom (with only three episodes aired so far) is way better than any full season of "Two And A Half Men." We should also appreciate the fact that they kept the theme song similar to the movies & plays. Perry plays a realistic, but likeable slob and Lennon nails all of the eccentricities of Felix. I'm also glad they casted Yvette Nicole Brown in this too. Overall, Grade-A sitcom. Meagen Boyle In the pilot you will see the "bones" of the show from 30+ years ago but freshly acted and very funny!! If you expect to see Jack Klugman and Tony Randall - go rent the show from the 70's. As a hip, fresh and updated Odd Couple, Thomas Lennon and Matthew Perry are, by the end of the first show, Felix and Oscar. Thomas Lennon breathes life and a contemporary perspective into a character once thought of us neurotic, but now as a self-deprecating, self-aware Felix Unger. Matthew Perry is Chandler NO MORE!

Perry brings a hip humor and slovenliness to the role of Oscar Madison. Updated to be a sports radio host and not a sports writer, he gets to show another side of his acting chops and I say GO MATTHEW, GO! I look forward and will purchase Season 2! Vinh Nguyen Be Patient. Watch the whole episode Wasn't sure about the casting. The writing is funny. Just when you get tired of two and a half men, they bring this show. The humor is not as raunchy, and I'm glad. I got a huge laugh out of it! Daniel Benedon Wickedly Funny I remember the Original Odd Couple Television Show Starring Jack Klugman as Oscar Madison and Tony Randall as Felix Unger. I really enjoyed that show. But, now I got a little Skeptical when they were Releasing the new Odd Couple starring Matthew Perry as Oscar Madison and Thomas Lennon as Felix Unger. But, I have to say after watching the 1st Episode of the new Show. I was Blown Away, I have Never Laughed so Hard. They did a Great Job on this Show. I Hope the Laughs keep on Coming.

--Great Job-- Juan Carlos Velarde Started weak Pilot wasnt too good, show starts a bit lacking chemistry and genuine acting the parts. two or so episodes in, the characters start to come together and piece together the story.

FELIX UNGER AND OSCAR MADISON CHAPTER 5 - NY Daily News FROM 'THE ODD COUPLE'... FELIX UNGER AND OSCAR MADISON CHAPTER 5 FROM 'THE ODD COUPLE'...

FELIX UNGER AND OSCAR MADISON CHAPTER 5 NEW YORK DAILY NEWS Friday, March 1, 2002, 12:00 AM THE RELATIONSHIP started out as one built merely on incompatible approaches to housecleaning. But the bond deepened as time passed, and Felix Unger and Oscar Madison discovered they were incompatible in many areas, not just one. And thus did they become the closest of chums, in the tradition of New Yorkers from Archie Bunker to Ed Koch, who instinctively understand that when it comes to having a good time, argument is so much more fun than agreement. We first met Felix and Oscar in 1965 on a Broadway stage. Three years later, they moved to the movie screen, and two years after that they strategically downsized to television, where over the next five years "The Odd Couple" became one of America's best-loved nontraditional dysfunctional families. In the course of these moves, they underwent a few changes in their own lives. On Broadway, Neil Simon's Felix Unger was a TV newswriter who wanted all the world to be as perfectly structured as the stories in his typewriter and saw no reason it couldn't be.

By the time he got to television, he was a photographer. But his optimism was unchanged. He still looked at the streets of New York and saw the potential for order, magnificent order. His only problem was that before he could take a vacuum cleaner to Columbus Ave., he first had to clean the living room of the apartment where he found himself residing, which was not possible as long as that living room was owned by Oscar Madison. Oscar started as a sportswriter for the New York Herald and thus he would ever remain, no one apparently being able to conceive of a profession that could breed more of a slob than sportswriting. Oscar's standards for acceptable domestic cleanliness were roughly based on the appearance of the grandstand at Yankee Stadium after free-peanut-and-soda night. And, since the apartment was his, that left Felix all dressed up with no place to dust. Prototype clients for a roommate-matching service they weren't. They lived together because they had no alternative.

Oscar's wife had thrown him out sometime earlier, apparently after concluding it would be easier to jettison the marriage than to clean the linens, and now he had a large new place on Riverside Drive - suspiciously large and well-located, considering the average sportswriter's financial range - and there was plenty of room for company when his friend Felix was thrown out by his own wife. In the movie, a distraught Felix took the long way to Oscar's place. He first checked into an upper-floor room in a cheap 47th St. hotel, from whose window he planned to end it all with a swan dive to the sidewalk below. Thrift does not always pay: The old window turned out to be frozen shut, and Felix wrenched his back trying to open it. So he hobbled to Riverside Drive, hoping Oscar's windows might be more supple. Once he arrived, Oscar talked him into living there, and there they both were. THE SHIFT TO TELEVISION changed the cast. Tony Randall took over Jack Lemmon's Felix and Jack Klugman took over Walter Matthau's Oscar.

Their apartment also moved, from Riverside to Apartment 1002 at 1049 Park Ave., only a brisk walk from where Ricky and Lucy Ricardo and their good friends the Mertzes once lived. Since both Oscar and Felix had flex-time careers, their paths did not always cross. So if Felix had to leave before he could give Oscar domestic instructions for the day, he would leave notes on Oscar's pillow. The surprising part was not that Oscar ignored them, but that he found them. Even eight large rooms, however, were not enough to let the odd couple live separate lives, and after the initial circling, they started to pal around. Neither by himself could have opened a Japanese restaurant and created a disaster that threatened to rekindle World War II. Working together, they did it easily - Felix on the ginsu knives, Oscar in the short jacket trying to remain calm and polite, two concepts he had never even considered, never mind acted on. In the manner of all New Yorkers, Felix and Oscar were surrounded by a cast of bizarre friends and relatives, as well as an occasional straight man or woman.

In the beginning, these friends included a pair of wacky British sisters, Cecily and Gwen Pigeon, who would go out with the guys on slow nights. The Pigeons had this arrangement with Oscar for some time before Felix arrived, so it seemed only natural to bring him into the group. It was only when Felix suggested they all go to the basement and do the laundry on their first double date that everyone realized how dramatically the dynamic had changed. At other times, however, Felix eagerly leaped into the wild side of life, like Oscar's Friday night poker game. No one ever explained how a sportswriter was always home Friday night, one of the biggest sports nights of the week, but there he was, with Speed, Roy and Vinnie. What kind of sandwiches you got, they'd ask Oscar as they filed in. Green or brown, Oscar said, cracking open a beer he had forgotten to refrigerate but had not forgotten to shake. One night Felix walked in to find a pregnant woman asleep on the couch. It turned out to be Oscar's long-lost niece Martha, who recognized Oscar because even though she hadn't seen him in 10 years, he was wearing the same shirt.

Martha explained that her husband, Phil, was in Germany and she'd come to New York so she could have the baby at the Bronx motel where she and Phil honeymooned. Oscar tried to persuade her otherwise. "The first thing that baby sees is not gonna be a bellhop from the Bronx," said Oscar. "It's gonna be a doctor. " By the time Martha was convinced, the baby made its own decision and was born in the Madison living room. Eventually, Oscar and Felix ran low on housecleaning jokes and weird relatives, and the plan called for them to break up in June 1975. Felix had talked his wife, Gloria, into remarrying him, and Oscar was ecstatic that he could finally throw beer cans onto the floor again without the danger of someone picking them up. BUT WE wouldn't let them leave. The television reruns became more popular than the original episodes, at one point getting up to three shots a day. This, in turn, brought Felix and Oscar back to both television and the stage for various reunions and secured them a place in popular culture as a catch phrase, which is even harder to achieve than an affordable eight-room apartment on Park Ave.

The Odd Couple - Raven Theatre - Chicago The Odd Couple Raven Theatre 6157 N. Clark St Chicago Neil Simon's classic comedy offers a hilarious tale of ordinary men who are extraordinarily irreconcilable. Oscar Madison, the super slob and Felix Unger, the ultimate neat freak battle as recently single middle-aged roommates. The explosively bad union brings reality T.V. at it's finest to the stage. Thru - Aug 8, 2010 Average Rating based on 6 reviews Highly Recommended Not Recommended Chicago Reader - Somewhat Recommended "...But even allowing for the benighted attitudes of the period, the play isn't all that funny. Masterful physical comedian Jon Steinhagen makes a schlumpy but convincing Felix, nailing the character's blind innocence. Wisecracking slob Oscar is harder to like; if he's not charming he's just a jerk, and charm eludes actor Eric Roach here.

Michael Menendian's production is gorgeous and the supporting cast is fine, but Simon's play remains one helluva sow's ear." Laura Molzahn Copley News Service - Recommended "...ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ Newcomers to ï¿½The Odd Coupleï¿½ may have a better time than veterans of the play. The lady sitting next to me on opening night was convulsed with laughter throughout the evening. This obviously was her first exposure to the play and she was having a ball. In any case, though Iï¿½ve seen funnier poker scenes, Steinhagenï¿½s Felix Unger is worth the price of admission." Dan Zeff Time Out Chicago - Somewhat Recommended "... The first act is tightly choreographed comedic ballet, well executed by Steinhagen, Roach and the cadre of comic actors portraying their poker buddies. By the middle of Act II, however, we need to identify with and care about Oscar and Felixï¿½s foibles and neuroses. Instead, Menendian and cast skip along the surface of their misery, and by the third act weï¿½re no longer invested.

Understated Steinhagen comes closest to embracing that pathos, but Simonï¿½s play works against him. Itï¿½s hard to find the heart of your character when youï¿½re surrounded by caricatures." Ryan Patrick Dolan ChicagoCritic - Recommended "...The Odd Couple is one funny show that still can make audiences laugh. In the hands of a dedicated ensemble, director Menendian encourages physical movement to add depth and laughs to the rich comedy. We see all the players running around like wild men with hints of farce and burlesque."
